Shocking I Know

Well it's a miracle. I actually decided I wanted to make something and it turned out pretty good! As many of you know, I am not a crafty person. I just struggle with being patient and I don't have the patience to make things look nice. But every once in a while I'll see something that I think I might be able to pull off and every once in a while I do. So anyways my very great friend from good ol' Evanston is one of the most creative and crafty people I know-you should check out her blog. She just recently posted instructions to make baby leg warmers. I have seen these little leg warmers and I think they are the cutest and I didn't want to spend very much on them. Well, I don't own a sewing machine, but I decided I would do it anyways. So I ran to Target and got the knee high socks for little girls and snip snip sew sew-it actually worked for me. I was later glad that I hand sewed the little leg-warmers because if you sew it too tight they won't fit over the little one's feet. Anyways, it was the perfect no piano lesson Friday activity and I was able to make two pairs for Julia and the next little baby. So maybe I am on my way to being domestic after all!
Julia was shocked at my achievement as well. I wanted her to model them for me yesterday but she wasn't up to it. But in the morning when she has "lion hair" as we call it and her too small pj's on she is more than willing. We are modeling one of each of the little leg warmers and I must say I am excited to put some on my chubby little new baby's legs. So here's our homage to the eighties and the come-back of leg warmers. Now we're off to watch Conference...
